 I didn't start out here but I have learned more than I ever even know didn't know. I never heard of a 1031 exchange, dscr coverage, etc before I came here.

I also didn't start here, but have learned many things here.  Regardless of where you are at in your investing life there is more to learn.

BiggerPockets has helped me see broader issues in RE across the country as well as  different investment approaches.

Another thing is reading the stories of success and failure.  Most importantly it has been the connections made over the years.

Listening to one BP podcast was all I needed to get the real estate bug. We went under contract on our first investment property (had never even bought a personal residence yet) just a couple weeks later. The second investment property we ever bought came from a connection we met through BiggerPockets and that was years ago before it has grown into what it is today. We now own over 50 SFH's and have flipped hundreds of houses.

More of solidifying a mindset for me. Also, hearing the same terms over and over and over really helped. 

At the end of the day, it's not rocket science. But, it's a much slower process than most people will endure. 

If you try to hit a home run or grand slam, don't be surprised if you strike out. Just learn how to hit singles and doubles consistently.
